+ carefully packaged for easy deployment. The wholly release has been
+ tuned to work with the latest GCC compiler. About 40 packages were
+ identified to use syslog(3) and were enabled to use either OSSP fsl
+ (fake syslog library) or the native logging. The Run-Command (RC)
+ facility was completely worked off and both log file rotation and
+ package upgrade/erase use it's new capabilities. Package quality was
+ greatly enhanced by rigorous application of fully automated package
+ input and output checking (linting) against programmatically written
+ down guidelines and architectural principles. The unique and important
+ bootstrap process was functionally enhanced, reduced in size, made
+ more robust and system requirements were relaxed.
